Class Giving Drive To wind down our first ever Parent Giving Drive to benefit the SBA Annual Fund, we are offering grade level participation incentives during the month of October. Every week, we will email a class participation percentage report, and every Friday, the incentives for each class will be granted. You can watch the participation levels rise all month on the new banner out front! The report is also posted online under the "Support SBA" tab of our website. Thank you so much to those that have already given to our Annual Fund through the Parent Giving Drive, and if you have not already participated, we hope you will consider a gift now. No gift is too small and all gifts are appreciated. While we would love for our parents to consider a gift of $200 or more, PARTICIPATION is always our goal! You can give online now by copying and pasting the following address www.sbaeagles.org/donate or you can send your payment in to school with your student. They can turn it in to their Theology teacher or to the front office. If you have any questions or would like to discuss payment options, or any other type of giving, please call the Development Office at 260-‐2892. A few important things to know about the Class Giving Incentives : • If you have given to SBA since July 1, 2014 – IT COUNTS! Your gift is included in the thermometer percentages attached. • If you have more than one SBA student – your gift is applied to EACH of your children's class percentage numbers. • If your student/s class earns an incentive the week of Fall Break – your incentive will be granted on Thursday, October 9, since we will not be in school on the 10th. • If your student/s class earns an incentive the week of "Be An Eagle for the Day" Shadow Day – your incentive will be granted on Thursday, October 23, so that we are all in uniform for our guests on the 24th.
